I’m a SHOW boy
April 2006 and the Grand Parade was the scene of some merriment. Food and produce stalls were erected and entertainers entertained. Note that they’re standing on the road? Now they’d be on the large pavement on the library side of the road! Aperture ƒ/5.6 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal length 125mm ISO 200 Shutter speed…

Long Gone in Cork
Way back in 2005 before the Elysian was built. Look at all the buildings that are gone now: The warehouses in the foreground are gone. The Sextant was demolished last year. Cork Bonded Warehouses are gone a long time. In the far background many new buildings have gone up. This view from the City Hall…

Rukos Skateboard Air Time
Catching the air on a Rukos skateboard in Emmett Place, Cork. September 2005. I published a few more photos here a couple of years ago. You’ll recognise the skateboarder in one or two of the images! Aperture ƒ/3.5 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal length 18mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/640s

The Ruins of Lebowskis
Lebowskis on Marlboro Street in 2005. The Spyglass Tavern is now in this building I think if Google Maps is up to date. I wasn’t ever in Lebowskis and haven’t visited the Spyglass Tavern either. Edit: The Atlas Bar is in that building now, not the Spyglass Tavern. Aperture ƒ/7.1 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal…

A Statue in the Octagonal Court
A statue in the Octagonal Court in the Vatican remains nameless despite my best efforts. It stands to the side of the Laocoön and I even found it on Google Maps but the pedestal is stands on doesn’t have an inscription! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal length 23mm ISO 160 Shutter speed 1/40s

Love on the Lee
St Patrick’s Bridge in the background, pictured from Mary Elmes Bridge. A love lock on the fence but thankfully there aren’t many on it. Love locks are a serious problem for structures as they add unplanned weight. Happy holidays! Hope you had a nice day today! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 35mm ISO 125…

Last Minute Shopping at O’Donovans Butchers
O’Donovan’s Butchers on Princes Street is long gone but back in 2002 I took this photo on Christmas Eve of shoppers getting food for their dinner the next day. 19 years ago to the day. Aperture ƒ/2.8 Camera FinePix2800ZOOM Focal length 6mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/20s

December Fireworks
Fireworks illuminate the park beside Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Blackrock tonight. The fireworks were part of the “Magic Nights By The Lee – A Winter Solstice” series of events but unfortunately due to Covid 19 they didn’t tell anyone where the fireworks would be launched from as reported by The Echo earlier today, For public…

Ceol on the back of a pickup
Achill Island, Co Mayo in July 2019. We joined the residents of Dooagh for a walk into the surrounding countryside. Halfway through there was refreshments and music and on a lovely July day it was glorious. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 16mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/400s

Light Trails and the Ferris Wheel
I went into town today and after finding parking around Gilabbey Street I wandered around Grand Parade until the sun set and got a few photos of the ferris wheel there. No stalls this year which is disappointing but with Covid19 on the rampage it’s understandable. Masks were seen inside and out among young and…
